Are you tired of your basic winged eyeliner look? Sure, it adds a whole lot of something to your makeup look, but a basic feline flick is just too 2016! Perhaps, it’s time to step up your eyeliner game and enter the world of graphic eyeliner. With chic strokes, cool colours and a debonair look, graphic eyeliners may be the thing that can completely change your glam look. For those who love to add some drama and a tinge of voguish beauty to your eye, the graphic eyeliner is the perfect look for you. On that note, let’s look at a detailed description of the different looks you can create and how to do them. 

 

Breaking Down Some Graphic Eyeliner Looks

 

Eyes look empty without the protruding flick of the eyeliner. For the past few years, the classic black eyeliner has taken a back seat. Instead, it has paved the way for some funky, cool and chic graphic liner looks like these below. 

 

1) Wispy Graphic Eyeliner: 

We understand that as a beginner, graphic eyeliner looks with bold colours and heavy strokes might be a little intimidating. Hence, we are starting with something simple. A classic wispy eyeliner look wherein substituting you replace basic black eyeliner for a metallic one. To make this look more eye capturing, dust eyeshadows in the same colour shade (at least 4-5). Then just as you would do with black eyeliner, draw a classic winged eyeliner using a metallic one and done! An easy and subtle way to do a trendy looking graphic eyeliner. 

 

2) The Double Wing: 

Wait up, before you completely get rid of your black eyeliner and jump on the trend of using cool colours, you should try this look. The double wing screams style and has a gothic yet elegant appearance to it. So, start by drawing a wing liner as you typically would; flick it upwards, then, at that point, flick it downwards. The two lines ought to make a V-shape. Define a flimsy boundary along with your lower lash fix and connect it with your second descending wing. Make a point to outline and join your internal corners to accomplish the fox eyeliner look. 

 

3) Cleopatra’s Wings: 

Just like the name, the look also draws quite the attention. For occasions when you want to channel your inner queen, this is the perfect graphic eyeliner to go far and radiate some glow. To make this work, draw on your feline liner, flick up and outward, then, at that point, bring it back. Follow a line along your crease. Your crease is the space between your orbital bone and your eyeball. Feel along the curve of your eyeball and the region where your eyelid plunges – that is your crease. In the space left in between, throw on some glitter eyeshadow to make your eyes look soft and feminine. 

 

4) Duo-Graphic Liner: 

Why should you use just one colour when you can use two? This eyeliner look uses the art of combining and overlapping two different eyeliner shades. Let's see how you can do this. Draw on your standard eyeliner in dark or one more dull shade of your liking. Then, with an alternate hued liner, paint a different line over your first line on the top. After that draw the wing under the first line which ought to be more slender in the inward corner of your eyes and thicker towards the end. Paint a deep eyeshadow beneath your lower lash line. This will assist with melding the liners and make them look more firm.

 

5) Colour Me: 

When absolutely nothing works and the rebel in you wants to go wild, just let the artistic side of you take over and use different colour eyeliners. From pastel hues to vibrant neons or whites, hot pinks and yellow, drawing a winged eyeliner using any of these colours can give your eye the attention it needs. To make these bold colours work, use a bronzer or contour to make your face one with the vibrant colours you will be using. Additionally, skip out on blush and use nude shade lipstick so that your eyeliner gets all the focus and you don’t end up looking like a clown. 

 

Graphic liner isn't tied in with pushing the limits and going too far – it's tied in with rethinking it and letting your imagination take control. It obscures the line of what's satisfactory and ordinary in magnificence. Even better, it advises us that there may not be a line by any means – it's simply eyeliner. So, go put on some cool, funky eyeliner and let your eyes do all the talking.
